Overview
- Movimiento Ciudadano formally asked the Senate to evaluate declaring the disappearance of powers in Michoacán, a step that could lead to appointing a provisional governor under Article 76.
- The move follows the assassination of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo and a justice march reported at roughly 70,000 participants led by his family members.
- MC leader Ivonne Ortega argued the federal Plan Michoacán lacks funding, noting no resources were earmarked for it in the 2026 federal budget.
- Federal authorities highlighted recent operations with arrests and large drug and weapons seizures, and supporters pointed to a reported 37% drop in intentional homicides.
- Some legal experts characterized the renewed arrest of an alleged second shooter in the 1994 Colosio case as a possible distraction from current violence, adding that prosecutors must assess potential statute-of-limitations issues.
